Following the passing of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, cardinals have convened in the Sistine Chapel to select a new pope. In their initial vote, they were unable to reach a verdict, indicated by the black smoke that emerged from the Vatican. Campaigners advocating for the ordination of women expressed their views by releasing pink smoke, emphasizing the need for inclusion of women in church decisions. The ensuing votes may extend over days or even weeks as the cardinals deliberate.
"We are saying to the cardinals, you cannot keep ignoring 50% of the Catholic population. You cannot go into a locked room and discuss the future of the Church without half of the Church."
"Whoever they elect needs to be brave enough to properly tackle the question of women's inclusion, because so far it has not been, even by Pope Francis."
